It is a standalone feature film and the final culmination of the British-produced Netflix TV series The Last Kingdom, an epic in every way, based on the novel by Bernard Cornwell and set in the 10th century, just before the Norman invasion. Even if you've never seen an episode of any of the five previous seasons of this dramatized but deeply scrutinized British history, you'll want to go back and watch the entire saga from the beginning. You give up more than that. It relied on a prudent way of trying to present a society primarily composed of pagan Danes and Saxon Christians, and people belonging to both.
His main friend is one of mixed descent named Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon), apparently born in Saxony but raised by Vikings and believes in Norse gods. A warrior wielding a fearsome sword with a sliver of pumpkin in the hilt, his mane swept to the side to look like a new-age traveler from the 1990s, Uhtred eschews the title of leader of the Northumbrian community. king. An alliance with the southern House of Wessex comes when the newly crowned King Athelstan (Harry Gilby) and his closest adviser, Ingilmundr (Laury Davidson) (a converted Christian zealot), seize the moment to invade Shetland. .and controlled all the kingdoms of England, from the Isles of Orkney to Wessex. As the title says, there are 8 kings in all, but the wife of a friend of Uhtred's with a history of divination predicted that 7 of them would die.
There's a lot of plot crammed into running time, but director Edward Bazalgette manages the storytelling efficiently. At the start of each scene, it's helpful to have a place name that describes what castle we are in now and how it's known. 900s, and that's the name it goes by now. If you like geeky attention to detail like that, you'll love this. This saga is sure to be essential viewing for both Larp fans and battle reenactors. But Bazalgette and the film never wink at us, from self-loathing gay men seeking to purify the “sin” they fear by waging war for Christianity, to the way the people of the Dark Ages treated women and defeated their enemies with the same contempt. . The fight scenes aren't on the scale of the Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones franchises, but they are thrilling enough and well-prepared for something on a much smaller budget.
